((posting from a friend's house. my internet is broken. will hopefully be fixed in the next couple days, or even tonight *crosses fingers* if I don't post, well... you'll know what's going on. XD))

Deac · 08-09-2006, 01:40 AM

NRI Building, Bathroom

*Deac and the techs plunge out of a shimmering portal, much to the surprise of Beler Jil, who stands at a urinal, relieving himself*

Jil: What the ****?

Deac: *Not noticing Jil is somewhat busy* Hmmm. Odd. Why here?

Jil:*Somewhat angry* Starkiller? What the hell are you doing here in the restroom while I'm trying to take a leak?!

Deac: Got compromised, had to take a portal back here from the research base. You wouldn't believe the trouble we had to take to get this datacore. I guess all the residual energy from when this had a portal device in it drew us here, like an anchor.

Jil: This is the last time I ever have laboratories, even destroyed ones turned into laboratories. Now do you mind?!

*Deac and the techs carry the datacore out, somewhat embarressed.

BattleDog · 08-10-2006, 04:37 PM

((Deac, you have a speeling mistake.))

Bilbriggi, Now

*Agric's newly arrived Imperial Fleet hangs in high orbit, with several of the ships already in Spacedock undergoing refits.

*On His Command Ship Agric sat in the throne room, Admiral Vares nealt infront of him.*

Vares: My Lord, the Yaga Minor fleet is holding station as you ordered, so far the Admirals have caused no problems.

Agric: Good, I would prefer not to have them killed, it would make things more difficult. What of the IIB Director? Has he been found?

Vares: My Lord... He is dead. It appears to have been suicide.

*Despite Vares apprihention at the news Agric throws back his head and laughs.*

Agric: Really? I expect it would appear to have been so. I expect it will also appear to have been suicide. What of the Imperial Beurocracy?

Vares: Many of the other department and service heads are also dead, some suicide, some "unfortunate" accidents.

Agric: Really? The day gets better and better!

Defiance II, Drago's Office.

Drago: Well.... I take it all back. Do you think I should have Hal Blood-Eagled?

Sellenna: No.

Rogue15 · 08-12-2006, 12:03 AM

Kioet: Raven? Who is that? Oh who cares. My boss is getting impatient, no need for this nonsense.

*Kioet lifts his rifle up and starts firing at Irvine*

Kuuki · 08-12-2006, 09:25 AM

*Irvine grabs his chair and throws it at Kioet while unslinging a lightsaber and deflecting Koiet's fire and circling him.*

**Redwing** · 08-15-2006, 01:36 AM

((I have Internet again!))

Imperial Base: Datacore

Aren: *in Kioet's ear* He's talking about Farran Darkholme. He recognized your Vanguard armor design.

Rogue15 · 08-15-2006, 11:16 AM

*Kioet stops firing, dodges the chair, then throws his rifle*

Kioet: hahahaha.

*Kioet silences his voice output so only Aren can hear what he's saying*

Kioet: Sso, thiss...Irrvine iss ussing a lightsssaber, thiss armor iss more than adequate to withsstand that, correct? Do you really want him alive?

BattleDog · 08-15-2006, 01:07 PM

Jedi Temple,

Just before Cracken's death.

*Flax senses the exstinguishing of Cracken's force presence along with that of his daughter. At the same time the creeping darkness all the Jedi have sensed is revealed as a new, coherent presence in the force, dark and cold.

A new Sith Lord.*

Flax: Oh Gods!

Kuuki · 08-15-2006, 05:30 PM

*Irvine catches the rifle with his left hand and grabs it by its handle, aiming it at Kioet. He notices that the lizard's jaw is moving through the mask, but he can't make out any words.*

Irvine "Either which way, you're still employed by someone, and that someone gave you that armour. Seems like you need it to get me."

**Redwing** · 08-15-2006, 06:03 PM

((OOS: Actually, Kioet's jaw is covered by the mask, which is immobile. You can't tell if he's speaking through it. [It doesn't look like the suit in R15's sig. XD]))

Imperial Base: Datacore

Aren: You're correct, your armor should be sufficient to stop his lightsaber blade. On the other hand this being has some unknown supernatural powers. Your armor is enhanced to deal with some of that, but if he's about to kill you, feel free to use lethal force. Right now I recommend using your suit's integrated weapons. The flamethrower, lightning, frostthrower and toxic cloud weapons, specifically. You should be able to mentally control the lethality. If you want more defense, you've still got the cortosis-alloy staff on your back.

BattleDog · 08-15-2006, 06:22 PM

((Red: Temple, post))

**Redwing** · 08-15-2006, 06:27 PM

((BD, I don't understand your last Temple post. Are you missing a word or two?

Also, I assume you mean post with Kaya? Or am I missing something?))

Rogue15 · 08-15-2006, 06:49 PM

*Kioet puts his right hand out, towards Irvine*

Kioet: Catch this.

*Lightning shoots forth at Irvine's face, Kioet activates his jetpack and launches above Irvine, then fires off a cloud of toxic spray upon him, Kioet then cloaks before landing then unslings his cortosis-alloy staff*

Kuuki · 08-15-2006, 10:01 PM

*Irvine catches the lightning with his lightsaber and takes a few steps back while Kioet launches his jetpack. However Irvine is caught off gaurd when the toxic spray hits him. He coughs his way out of the cloud and hugs a wall.

As he touches the wall he loses sight of him from the corner of his eye, and he spins around to see nothing in the room.*

Rogue15 · 08-16-2006, 02:34 AM

*Kioet edges closer to Irvine, til he is about half a meter away, then swings the cortosis staff hard at Irvine's right armpit*

Kuuki · 08-16-2006, 05:36 AM

*Kioet strikes at... nothing.

Instead, Kioet is suddenly being attacked from three sides at once! Three like 'images' with lightsabers out and ignited charge at Kioet dispite him being cloaked aiming their sabers at Kioet's throat/neck (depending on which direction that particular Irvine was coming from)*

[edit]spelling errors[/edit]

Rogue15 · 08-16-2006, 11:19 AM

Kioet: What the-

*Kioet blocks one of the sabers that comes inches from his throat, before teleporting 15 meters into the air and engaging his jetpack, suddenly things start moving in slow motion, and Kioet sees an opening in the center of the four, and fires off a volley of 15 rocket darts from his left and right bracers, while holding the cortosis staff with both hands*

Kuuki · 08-16-2006, 02:29 PM

((only 3 are there r15

))

*The first Irvine whom got 'blocked' spins around while the other two complete their motion missing their counterpart's sabers and each other by millimeters. Each spin and follow Kioet's teleport looking into the air. Dispite Kioet being cloaked, each glared at Kioet's eyes. This was all in a matter of 2 seconds.

It was then Kioet fired off the rocket darts. Each Irvine darts off in separate directions, leaping behind consoles until...

An energy bolt fired from Kioet's rifle, that was still in a hand of one of the Irvine's hit's Kioet's armour...*

((Red you deside the damage, your rifle and all, considering that Irvine is only firing it at the same setting Kioet was))

**Redwing** · 08-16-2006, 04:47 PM

((Kioet has several rifles; the ones that are blockable by lightsabers won't do much to his suit. All they are is powered-up versions of ordinary weapons. It's either a stormie rifle or a repeater...))

Rogue15 · 08-16-2006, 11:00 PM

*The bolt glances off Kioet's armor, Kioet returns fire with his frostthrower*

Kuuki · 08-17-2006, 05:02 AM

*The Irvine with the rifle drops it after it hits and then darts out of the way of Kioet's fire.*

Irvine *spoken varied from each encarnation to another* "I thought your little rifle was more impressive. Oh well, doesn't matter fighting you is pointless. And with those gadgets of yours,... Why don't you explain to me why you want me, and I'll finish you quick."

((blah blah, its what i get for posting after i just get up :P))

**Redwing** · 08-17-2006, 05:56 AM

((OOS: If Irvine isn't using the Force or supernatural powers to dodge Kioet's fire in the relatively small datacore, that's godmoding. There's no such power as I'm So Awesome You Can't Hit Me.

Still waiting on Admiral, who is waiting on WJ.))

Rogue15 · 08-17-2006, 12:59 PM

Kioet to Aren over comm: Is it alright if I just level this structure? He's starting to annoy me.

**Redwing** · 08-24-2006, 01:33 AM

((Sorry about vanishing again - just went through a move and only now got my Net back.))

Aren: I'd advise not leveling the structure. He isn't yet a threat... and if you destroy the base we don't know what the effects will be. The very fabric of reality here is unstable. You may as well just tell him who you are... if you want, that is.

Rogue15 · 08-24-2006, 12:32 PM

Kioet to Irvine/figures: My bosss ordered me to detain you. I do not know why. Perhapss it iss to your benefit, remember when we firsst met in the cantina in Tatooine? Look at me now.

Writer · 08-24-2006, 01:25 PM

((Whoops... sorta missed me cue...

))

Elysium: Blackwald

Alyssa gestured back behind her. "As I approached this clearing, I came upon four sets of footprints. Two had three toes and the other two seemed to be wearing boots. After a short while, one three-toed print and one booted print vanished as if by teleportation or flight."

She then reached out a hand and used the Force to retrieve a small pile of various metals. "This is also unusual," she observed, eyeing it, but leaving it floating in midair in her grasp of the Force. "While metal may not be entirely uncommon in a forest, these pieces seem to have been supercooled somehow."

Kuuki · 08-24-2006, 03:11 PM

((reads posts before logging in. Oh! Thats what red ment when he said 'not like the pic in r15's sig'

got em turned off))

*As soon as Kioet ceases fire and speaks to him, Irvine stops his evading.

He walks out in his three forms, and looks at Kioet. They stand there for a moment silent, until each seem satisfied and two of them vanish in a puff of dark wisps.*

Irvine *annoyed* "Detain me? You desided on fireing upon me. I question the motives of your boss for sending me a stray rogue for hire. I mean, first you want to obliterate me with your vanguard gadgets, now you want to just detain. I really don't care what you look like now."

Rogue15 · 08-29-2006, 01:14 AM

Kioet: Well, my bosss, wantss to ssee you in person. I was merely conducting a field tesst on my ssuit. You'd be dead already if my bosss commanded.

Kuuki · 08-29-2006, 05:49 AM

Irvine *even more annoyed* "Dead? Fine. If your boss wants me, he'll have to get me himself."

*Irvine walks into the same portal in which Deac and co left.*

Rogue15 · 08-29-2006, 10:28 AM

*Kioet slings his rifle, walks out of the room and towards his ship*

Kioet over comm: What jusst happened?

**Redwing** · 08-29-2006, 03:44 PM

Imperial Base, Datacore

*The portals close shut as fast as they had opened. A new spiderweb of portals opens through the room after it, then closes for another line to open, like seams unraveling and being resewn.*

Nobody: *still in a guard stance* Oh? How did you get here?

((Sorry, Scar, not the same portal. Geez. Do you ever read half the posts here?

On the other hand, feel free to choose where Irvine ended up.))

Imperial Base

Aren: I would follow him through that hole in the air that he went through, before it shuts again. You probably have less than twenty seconds to make up your mind, at the current dimensional instability rate of this area.

Rogue15 · 08-29-2006, 10:22 PM

Kioet: Alright...I sshall cloak and follow him...

*Kioet activates his cloaking device, goes back into the room and walks through the portal*

Kuuki · 08-30-2006, 05:43 AM

((bleh, r15 takes so long to post :P))

Ulna Shardes: Desert wasteland

*Irvine exits the portal and looks around at the expanse.*

Irvine "Well at least its a stable area. Wide open spaces, hell I think I'll build a house out here."

*Irvine spins around and swings his fist using sleeper powers to enhance his strength stright into the front Kioet's helmet.*

Irvine "I know where you are lizard. I know those tricks that those Vanguard suits have and you can't hide from me."

Rogue15 · 08-31-2006, 12:04 PM

*Kioet gets up off the ground, a little shaken*

Kioet: Well, no sense hiding then.

*Kioet uncloaks*

Kioet: So, where are we?

BattleDog · 08-31-2006, 06:41 PM

Jedi Temple, Training wing

*Flax leans back against a pillar and exhails, he looks at Kaya.*

Flax: Now the threat is revealed. There can no-longer be any question of the importance of our mission. How soon can you be ready to leave?

**Redwing** · 08-31-2006, 08:52 PM

Temple

Kaya: Immediately. I will visit my quarters. *to Volmount* You shall have to conduct your business here later. *to Raas* Speak with me as we walk. *The two exit*

((I'm okay to time skip the necessary day))

----------

Ulna Shardes

Aren: Just so you know, Csuhen, he's lying to you. He doesn't know the full extent of your capabilities. But the cloak won't fool him. By the way, it might interest you to know that you're now on the former capital of the Separatists, Ulna Shardes, where you first found the Vanguard suit. The reason it looks nothing like the planet you remember is because Cracken razed the planet into a wasteland by orbital bombardment.

BattleDog · 09-01-2006, 04:52 PM

Defiance II, Wardroom.

*Drago, Sellenna, Hal and Admiral Fargan are gathered around the wardroom table along with junior navy and army personnel.*

Drago: Now that we finally have the information from the Aesir we know that the Heloki landed in strength, and we know that two of their ships are unacounted for. From this we have to assume that a Heloki presence remains on the planet.

Since the Senate have vetoed my request to neutron bombard the planet we're going to have to go in. *The holoprojector lights up, showing a settlement of around ten thousand with a spaceport in the middle.* This is the main colony complex, we will begin by securing the spaceport. Its an opne field so we should see any tangos before they come within range. *An animation plays, showing eight assault shuttles landing in a regular octagon in the centre of the field.* Our first wave will go in and secure a perimiter with heavy weapons. Then out second wave will go in and bring in full prefab shelters and the mobile command post. *16 more shuttle land within the perimiter, acompanied by a heavy transport.*

Once we have secured a foward base we will begin working outwards into the city. Throughout the operation all personnel will wear NBC field gear. We don't know what kind of bacteria these cats are draggin along and I don't want to take any chances.

Questions.

((If there's anything you want to know create a minor character to ask. I cannot garentee that strange characters will not be depicted as drug adicts.

Where's Deac btw?))

Rogue15 · 09-01-2006, 05:40 PM

Kioet over comm: Well, what should I do? He isn't a threat, but he isn't cooperating either. Maybe you should speak to him yourself, want me to put you on speaker? Wait..."accidentally" killing him would be more gratifying.

*Kioet puts both arms out and fires the rest of his rocket darts at Irvine, teleports behind him, unslings and thrusts his cortossis staff into Irvine's back, with the blades out, activating his shield the same time the rockets begin to impact*

Kuuki · 09-02-2006, 02:18 PM

Ulna Shardes: Wasteland

*Irvine sighs as he notices Kioet attempting yet another try at him. But this time he's surprised at Kioet's new maneuver, Irvine catches the staff and the blades in his cloak before it shears him, and tugs back at the staff.

The rockets. Innocently hit the ground.*

Ulna Shardes: Shadow Realm Wasteland

*Kioet's comm goes silent as his Vanguard suit's instruments shut down.

Irvine throws his cloak off, still 'hooked' into the cartosis stave blades, and disarms Kioet of it by twisting the staff under and around his grip.*

BattleDog · 09-02-2006, 07:16 PM

Defiance II, wardroom

Drago: their claws are very sharp but they aren't laser scalples. You'll each be issued with personal particle shields, the kind Black Ops use. That should provide a reasonable amount of protection. Additionally, our perimiter will be a sheild-wall, rather than conventional barricades. Because of this we only have an operational window of 28 hours, after that we'll start to lose the shield units to malfunction, they're not meant to be on that long, after all. Hopefully we'll be in, out, and away before that becomes a problem.

Any more questions on the plan? If not we'll move onto specific assignments.

Jedi Temple, Taklin Flax' quarters.

*Flax has finished packing his pack, laying it on the bead he moves to an iron-bound oak chest. Turning a manual key in the old lock he opens the chest and withdraws a box. Opening the box he withdraws an old-fashioned lightsabre, stuffing it into his pack he hefts the heavy bag onto his back and heads to the hanger.*
